Ionized hydrogen-1 isotope is identical to a proton.
The force that holds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus is an example of the strong nuclear force. This force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces in nature and is responsible for binding the nucleus together despite the repulsive forces between positively charged protons.
A nuclear symbol, also known as an atomic symbol, is a standard way to represent an element with a specific number of protons and neutrons. It consists of the element's chemical symbol, its atomic number (number of protons), and its mass number (sum of protons and neutrons). For example, the nuclear symbol for carbon-12 is ^12_6C.
Apparently uranium is the largest atom, with 92 protons and 92 electrons.
It is very unusual for one kind of atom to become another kind atom, however it does happen in radioactive processes. Every element is characterized by a distinct number of protons. For example, all hydrogen atoms have 1 proton, all helium atoms have 2 protons, etc. Atoms also include electrons and neutrons. However, adding or removing electrons or neutrons does not change the kind of atom. For example, a helium atom with 2 electrons or 1 electron is still a helium atom. Alpha decay is an example of a radioactive process in which the number of protons changes (and therefore the kind of atom changes). An alpha particle includes 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When it is expelled from an atom, a new kind atom is formed. This occurs when a uranium atom (92 protons) is changed into a thorium atom (90 protons) + an alpha particle.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons will be the same as the number of protons. This is because one positive proton will cancel out one negative electron; therefore, if the atom is neutral, it must have the same number of protons and electrons.The number of protons is also the same as the atomic number. For this example, Bromine, with the atomic number of 35, has 35 protons.Bromine:Atomic number- 35Number of protons- 35Number of electrons- 35The mass number is the sum of the atomic number (or number of protons/electrons) and the neutrons. For this example, we know the atomic number (35) + # neutrons = mass number (80). To figure out the number of neutrons, take the mass number and subtract the number of electrons/protons/atomic number. Mass number (80) - atomic number (35) = neutrons (45).
Protons are a type of positive atom
A metal can have different numbers of protons, as the number of protons dictate which element it is (refer to a periodic table). For example, Lithium (Li) is a metal, with 3 protons, whilst Gold (Au) is also a metal with 79 protons. The number of protons the metal has depends on which metal(/element) it is.
The number of protons is the same as the atomic number of the element. for example if your element is magnesium with the atomic number 12 there would be 12 protons in the nucleus.
Not necessarily, the number of protons in an atom are exactly the same as the electrons in an atom. For example, sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. How many electrons does it have? 11.
Yes. An example would be carbon-12. It has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
No electrons or protons, which you can't have...
Protons are found in the nucleus of every atom. The number of protons determines what element it is; for example, atoms with 6 protons are carbon atoms, while an atom with 8 protons is an oxygen atom.
it depends on the element an element atomic # equals its # of protons per nucleus
On any element's "square" on the periodic table, The number of protons in one atom is located at the very top of the square. For example, Beryllium has 4 protons.
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
Yes. The number of protons is determined by the element's atomic number on the periodic table of elements. (Example: Nitrogen's atomic number is 7 therefore it has 7 protons.)
The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the numbers of protons in the atomic nucleus; as an example: aluminium, with the atomic number 13 has also 13 protons. All the isotopes of an element has the same number of protons.
